Including some really neat additions, like:
- a Tasco 15TE-5 76mm refractor, generously donated by Bob Prociuk. Sadly this scope has been hiding in a box in virtually brand new condition. It's a very capable scope from an era when quality was still a top concern for manufacturers
- a vintage Bausch & Lomb Criterion 8" SCT
- a variety of guides from the McLaughlin Planetarium
- a second copy of Neil deGrasse Tyson's book on Astrophysics for People in a Hurry
- a book on the 2024 Solar Eclipse
- and a book by our latest monthly meeting speaker, Dr. Mark Tovey, featuring a collection of astronomically related poetry

Last post by Victor.Abraham - November 23, 2023, 02:10:08 PMHere is a link to RASC's response from the Ministry of Transport dated November 16, 2022: https://www.rasc.ca/authorisation
It's a blanket letter granting us the use of GLP's within certain guidelines. It's highly recommended to keep a copy with you if you do any outreach and have a GLP.
RASC also has a number of resources on their site: https://www.rasc.ca/laser-pointer-usage

Last post by Victor.Abraham - November 20, 2023, 02:49:39 PMCalendars are in! I went to RASC National today and spent some time chatting with Jenna Hinds, Executive Director on the RASC Board. I picked up 39 calendars and they will be available at our next meeting in Waterdown, on Dec 7th.
The final price with tax included, per calendar is: $14.63
If you've ordered a quantity of calendars please forward your payment to treasurer@hamiltonrasc.ca. From an accounting perspective it's easier to manage if all payments go to our Treasurer and then the reimbursement is smoother too.
I will be sending an individual email to everyone with your total.
Cheers & Clear Skies!

Last post by Victor.Abraham - November 02, 2023, 09:03:27 PMAmazing! We've reached 10 so I will ask what the price is - the plan is to keep the order open until our next General Meeting on the 16th of November, at which point I'll place the order and pick it up so that everyone can have their calendar for the December meeting.
